Australians decide against creating an Indigenous Voice to advise Parliament on minority issues

Associated Press  

CANBERRA, Australia — Australians voted in a referendum Saturday against enshrining in the nation’s constitution a mechanism for Indigenous people to advise Parliament on policies that affect their lives. Proponents said creating an Indigenous Voice via the constitution would recognize the special place that Indigenous people have in Australian history while giving them input in government policies. The proposal called for establishing “an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice” that would advise Parliament and the government on Indigenous matters. Proponents said the Voice would have included Indigenous Australians from all eight states and mainland territories, the Torres Strait Islands and remote and regional communities.
